A Dutch court in Amsterdam has sentenced five men for their roles in violent attacks against Israeli football fans during a Europa League match between Ajax Amsterdam and Maccabi Tel Aviv in November. The men received sentences ranging from community service to six months in prison, leading to criticism that the punishments are too lenient. The attacks, which resulted in five Israeli fans being seriously injured and up to 30 others suffering minor injuries, sparked international outrage and accusations of antisemitism. Prosecutors are considering an appeal, and authorities are investigating at least 45 more individuals connected to the violence.
